On this day (Feb. 5) in 1934, Hank Aaron, one of baseball’s greatest players, was born in Mobile, Alabama.
Aaron began his career in the Negro Leagues before joining Major League Baseball in 1954. Over 23 seasons with the Milwaukee and Atlanta Braves, and later the Milwaukee Brewers, he shattered records. Aaron set all-time records for total bases, extra-base hits, and RBIs, cementing his legacy as one of the game’s most dominant hitters.
His impact extended beyond baseball, as he endured racism with quiet strength while reshaping the sport. In 1982, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, receiving one of the highest vote totals in history.
Aaron’s legacy endures as a symbol of excellence and perseverance.
